The United States Fuel Administration is making every effort, through the producers and transportation lines, to obtain an adequate supply of fuel for the industries of the country.
Twenty-five to fifty million tons of coal a year can be saved by the improved operation of steam-power plants without changing their present equipment and without abating their production the slightest.
It is absolutely necessary that this saving be realized, if our overburdened railroads are to be relieved and our industries kept in full operation.
The extent to which it will be realized depends upon the cooperation of the owners, engineers, and firemen of every power plant of the country.
YOUR FIRING LINE IS AT THE FURNACE DOOR.

Advisory Engineer to United States Fuel Administration.
